The best person to answer this question is a vet and they do not charge to give info over the phone.

she may have gotten a stick or some thing stuck in her throat or she may have something stuck in her intestines. My boss's english bull terrier ate the neighbours football that had come over. They didn't know till the dog had collapsed and had to have emergancy surgery. Does she eat stones, she may have a build up of those. It may be something she's eaten days ago. Keep an eye on her to night and get her checked over first thing in the morning.

Check and see if her ears are allways cold or if her gums are a very pale pink. If she has cold ears or light gums, i would take her to the vet. If you decide not to though try feeding her cooked rice and chicken in a 3:1 ratio. This is light on the dog's stomach and may keep her from vomiting.

my sbt is also a terrible scavenger i have caught him eating bricks,wood,wires and numerous other things he finds when walking. Id seriously suggest that you pop to the vet in case she has something stuck in her throat she will get dehydrated very quickly the longer you leave it the more it will cost,(you know how vets like there money)i hope she gets better soon x x

yeah, she sounds like she may have eaten something quite horrible. When she isn't drinking, that is a real worry. Best seek medical help very quickly before she gets dehydrated.

had a similar problem with my male Schnauzer if she is not drinking water you will need to bring her to the vet if she is try and buy some bio critical and add to her water this will keep her hydrated until she feels well enough to eat good luck

I have not had any similar experience's but I suggest taking him to a vet. And hurry, she/he could be very sick.

get your dog to a vet. they can tell you exactly whats gone on. I used to have to put a muzzle on my labrador when i let her off her lead, to stop her scavenging, might be an idea to start doing that with yours???.
